2020 is a developing body of work that explores the debate over which epoch scientists define ourselves to be in. Are we currently in the Holocene (the last 11,700 years of Earth’s history) or the Anthropocene (a debated new era of human influence on the environment)? This debate, about where humanity formally defines itself to be in time in relation to Earth’s history and its climate, lends itself to ideas surrounding the impact of humanity on planet earth, and the discipline of stratigraphy (a branch of study concerned with the layering of rock).
